Audio alert each mile and pace - how to setup?

Thanks for humoring me with what is probably a simple question!

I swear, in the past, I had my Fenix set up to announce the cumulative miles every mile along with the pace of the last lap, but can’t figure out how to do it now on my 7X pro!

I have it set to auto lap and added a new alert for each mile but this is what it says no matter how many miles I’ve gone:

”one mile, auto lap one mile, pace X.XX, one mile”

anyone know how to walk me through the settings to have it say

”6 miles, pace X.XX”. Meaning my cumulative miles and the pace of last lap?

I've noticed this constant 1 km distance too and wondered wasn't there supposed to be total distance? It's clearly a bug. They should issue a hotfix :)

easiest way is to go into GC mobile set it up there - click on your watch at the top, and go to Audio Prompts - from there you can alter and change all manner of things.

Thanks so much for your reply. That doesn’t really give me the specific settings that I’m hoping for. Maybe it’s not some thing I’m able to do…

simply want the announcement in my headphones of how many total miles run so far and the pace of the last mile…

Dont´t know surely, but I think this question is related to bug with each lap info. It was exactly as you wrote, but with newer FW (13.22 I think) they changed that and it doesn´t show cumulative distance, but only lap distance each lap which is odd. So in my case, I got each 1km the same value of 1km and pace of last 1km, but I can´t see total distance. BUT in few last beta FW it´s repaired and it starts showing cumulative distance again, so I think this will help you.

EDIT:

So it´s for following workouts. Maybe it´s not corrected that, I stop following workouts :-).

I knew I wasn’t going crazy. Since I’m running beta 14.x, I reported thus in the beta forum and was told its a known bug and will be fixed by the quarterly release of the new beta.

I reported this previously and just wanted to follow-up to see if there was a fix planned?

in the past my Garmin Fenix’s would announce on my earphones not only the previous mile pace, but the cumulative amount of miles a run, announced each mile.

Currently, it will only say “1 mile” no matter how many miles have been run, although it will announce the last mile’s pace.

Exact same issue as OP….. mine didn’t stop doing this until a month or so ago. Maybe that is when I updated the watch. I want cumulative miles and a status update like it has done for over the past year.

I think I might be describing a related problem in this recent post. My audio prompts give gibberish since 17.23...
